REDISCOVERING BECK

This post could've easily been written a decade ago, but as my mid-90s slackerdom experiences a rebirth of sorts (unemployed, sitting in my parent's basement, scribbling about musicians for Godsakes) I'm reminded of pop culture's folky, electro-pop weirdo Beck.




Beck was the inspiration behind all my ill-fitting thrift store pants and ill-fitting floppy haired boy crushes. (Yeah, thanks a fucking lot Beck Hanson!) He made being a goofy, skinny, whitey seem hip, urban, and street.

Yup. I wrote "street."

While I've embraced all Beck's creations with wide-eyed excitement, nothing compares to 1996's Devil's Haircut.
This just proves all you need for an awesome video is a 25-year-old whipper snapper, New York City, a vintage cowboy hat and a beatbox. Enjoy.
